9 Mounting the ManaBloc
Where space permits, Viega recommends mounting the ManaBloc
on a surface rather than between studs for ease of accessibility and
replacement should a di󶈴erent ManaBloc port con󶈵guration be desired in
the future.
9.1 Mounting Between Studs with Mounting Straps
Dimensions in these instructions are for 16" stud centers and must be
adjusted for other stud spacing.
Once the general location of the ManaBloc has been determined (see "8.2
Location" on page 39), the ManaBloc may be mounted to a suitable
surface between a pair of adjacent studs. For 16" stud spacing, the
mounting straps (part number 45716) can simplify installation.
Additional Tools and Materials
■ Electric Drill
■ #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
■ Pencil or Pen
■ Permanent Marking Pen*
■ Framing Square
■ Tape Measure
■ ¾" and 1¼" Wood Drill Bits
■ Wood or Drywall Screws - ½" or longer
■ ½" or ¾" Plywood - when 󶈶ush mounting ManaBloc
* Optional
1. Lay the ManaBloc, plastic brackets down, on a suitable 󶈶at surface that
is large enough to accommodate the full length of the ManaBloc. Place
a mounting strap under each plastic mounting bracket (located at the
top and bottom ends of the ManaBloc). Attach the plastic mounting
bracket at one end of the ManaBloc to the two outer center holes of a
mounting strap using the provided self-tapping pan-head screws. The
screw heads must be on the accessible side of the mounting strap.
Repeat at the other end of the ManaBloc. Tighten screws securely.
2. Standing behind the stud wall, measure up from the 󶈶oor and make
a mark on the back of one of the studs to represent the top of the
ManaBloc (see illustration).
This mark should be between four feet and six feet from the 󶈶oor but
may be at any height, provided the height will allow all valves on the
ManaBloc to be accessible. With a framing square or level, transfer
and mark the noted height on the other stud.
Measure up from the floor while standing
behind the stud wall. Mark a location for
the top of the ManaBloc.
